With SK 2025, glb import for materials was added.
I’m trying to add some materials that I have in Unreal Engine, which can export in gltf or glb.
Unfortunately trying to import the image I get this error.
Would love to get some more info on why the import is failing so I can try and make it work. The log in %temp% has nothing to say about it.
Here’s an example file (Sketchup community doesn’t allow glb upload 
) MI_ConcreteRough01.glb
Here is the simplest example which has only straight up values for everything, no textures. SkP_Test.glb
Are you sure the model was exported correctly?
Can you import the glb file back into Unreal?
Good question. Yep import back into Unreal works fine.
I asked because it gives an error when importing in both Blender 4.3 and pCon Planner… which is quite strange.
I’ve worked it out. Sketchup (And other programs) expect a glb file to have geometry. Only Unreal seems to support glb with only a material.
By exporting it with some geometry it seems to work well 
SM_Chair01.glb

I have asked the team that handles the importer to think about the use case where there is no geometry in the file.

You can always wrap unallowed file types in a zip archive to share them on the forum.

I added glb and gltf as file types that you can attach to posts.
